What is working and what isn't ...
Comments (56)Lin, I'd be happy to send seeds of "Konjac" when they are ripe. Konjac not only grows easily from seed, but multiplies nicely from bulbs. The mother plant dies after setting seed and divides into several little potato like bulbs. I sometime reuse potting soil and have them coming up in the strangest places. Once a plant went out the hole in the bottom of a large black nursery pot I had inside a decorative pot and came up the side between the pots. I thought -- where the heck did that come from???? It was determined to grow! Pam, I'm fairly certain that all the plants you mention above would have no problem regrowing if you cut them back. I know Greg's mist flower can take it. And the others come back from the roots here in the spring. I'd do it. Nothing makes a flower bed look worse than half dead looking droopy plants -- definitely 'not working'. Anyone else want to venture an opinion on Pam's question?...See MoreBullnose tile on wall is 1/2 inch away; is this normal?
Comments (14)Ok...I agree it's bullnose, althiugh not the kind that will fix the problem. If it were me, I wouldn't try to rely on caulk to hide such a gap. It would be better to give it an intentional, finished edge. One way to do that would be to use quarter round tile at the top: https://www.google.com/search?q=quarter+round+tile+image&client=safari&hl=en-us&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi9__PtxJbXAhVY7WMKHcxVBaAQ_AUIEigB&biw=375&bih=553 You probably won’t be able to get that in an exact color match to your tile, but you could find something nicely complementary. Or, as I suggested above, use a nice piece of painted, decorative wood trim....See MoreNew build with kitchen cabinet too large for door cove crown molding
Comments (41)I am so grateful for this feedback I have received today. And thank you again PPF and Bryan911 for all the helpful details. I am going to see about a new upper cabinet. We’ve put too much into this project to let two upper cabinets good us up :) I had a lot of people including a designer I hired for a short time out eyes on this, and we still missed it. Just goes to show you how difficult it can be to build a house and get all the details to work out as hoped. PPF — the reason we broke up the expanse of the pantry door with shaker panels was since we wanted it to look integrates with the cabinetry and to break up the tall doors since we have 10’ ceilings. I do agree also about hinges that can be hidden. It also annoys me that they are such a bright gold when my lights and cabinet hardware will be more of an aged, satin brass. Is it easy to switch out hinges and not mess up the doors?...See MoreCan a full-size washer & dryer fit in a 55-1/4 inch wide space?
Comments (30)Totally helpful comment<---- sarcasm. Obviously the OP's isn't, hence the reason for posting. In principle, knowing that they are only off by less than 5 inches from the standard dimensions could be helpful. That's likely just about the amount that a creative contractor could shave off. Open the walls, turn the studs by 90°, use thinner sheetrock, and maybe just push the wall over a tiny amount, and you are there. Then maybe fill the walls with spray foam to give them back some of the rigidity that they lost in the process. In practice, this is going to be prohibitively expensive unless the room was intended to have a full remodel anyway. So, yeah, you are right. That's not super helpful. And that's why I originally suggested looking into getting Miele washers/dryers. The higher purchase price is easily made up for by the cost savings of not having to completely gut the laundry room and remodeling it. Sounds as if there are a few other more compact alternatives, though. Good to know....See Morelapetitemel19
